I've lived and roamed across much of China, studied in Taiwan and South Korea, and know Japan and Hong Kong well. Many Chinese are indeed great, but in the end the Chinese tendency to game every possible system, make clever use of naiv

Is it "veiled racism" to point out how China continues to wield the great firewall that effectively blocks most internet users from outside news and entertainment while Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan et al. do not? The

Not sure about this. There have been multiple Congressional hearings that produced continuing nuggets of information, provoking yet more speculation. And in the past 24 hours ABC had a rather shocking interview with the local police reveali

And, on a related note for education, AI is quickly obviating the need to master and plumb the depths of foreign languages. Dating myself, doubtless, but as an undergraduate, it was an unalloyed joy to study ancient Greek and read Plato and

The shift in the US from the 1980s to banning forced retirement age has only added to the trend toward accruing and maintaining status through navigating an established, and increasingly sclerotic, hierarchy. The quest for lifelong tenure h

So the technology of a global company must be hobbled and regulated because of US parents being so foolish as to allow their teens access to age-inappropriate technology? Did I miss the "teen fads determine anti-trust results" sec

I keep seeing references here to the teen market and teen attitudes toward green bubbles. Should the anti-monopoly law toward a large, but globally minority market-share company hinge on the attitudes of US teenagers?

I would encourage my fellow oldsters (you know who you are!) to strongly consider trying out the AVP. After several days of use, I'll be keeping mine. A few rambling thoughts. First, and foremost, I like the feeling of mental tiredne

Big miss by Apple: not securing reviews from any senior citizen. By positioning the AVP to be the coolest possible means of work and play for the well-heeled technorati, Cook is missing a huge group, to wit, well-heeled boomers, seeking suc
